I don't know, it sounds like a perfectly normal session to me. I do so much just rambling or complaining about 'little' things, just everything that's on my mind. At least that's what most of my sessions were like until I started doing the group stuff.
Every now and then I'd tell her I felt like I had wasted the session and she'd find some way to make it meaningful, pull out the thread of what I said and put some spin on it that made it seem like it was about important themes in my growth as a person. I would usually doubt her summary and suspect it was really just some kind of pollyanna trick therapists do, but it made me feel better about rambling.
